Discussion: 

What are the rods that are referenced when discussing width? Are only they a form of measurement that was used when building things such as homes and roads? 

Is the pendleton referenced on page 209 where the brand pendleton got its name and inspiration for its brand? 

Was the mill still profitable towards the end of Capt Scamman’s life? 

When they refer to “Kennebec” on page 215, do they mean Kennebunk? If so, what caused the name to be changed over time?
